Irrational Fears, Dating

Since I am a writer, my brain is a special place. And I frequently have random weird thoughts pop into my head which turn into random weird scenarios and then into random weird fears. One such weird fear is, what if I had to date again??? I am currently married and if I haven’t scared him off by now,—it’s been sixteen years (Holy shit really?)—then he’s probably not going anywhere. Kind of like life in prison, sure there are bars, but now you’re used to it, and it’s home. Anyway I saw one of...

Do Your Kids Omegle? Because they’re seeing dick if they do.

Me How was the party last night? DD It was awesome. We went on Omegle and there were some cool people we chatted with and then we got this old guy showing up his dick, and we screamed, and I think R was damaged cause she’s actually nice and innocent. Anyway we found a pic of a better dick and sent it to him. Me Excuse me what??? So Omegle is a social media site that hooks you up with strangers. You don’t create a profile, put in your email, or name, you do have to say you’re over the age of...

Kill all the germs!!

So today I held the hand of one of the elementary school kids as we walked home, a mistake I shall not repeat. Thirty minutes later the houseparent comes and asks me to look at his eye. Oh yes, he has pink eye. OMG I TOUCHED PINK EYE GERMS. I am calm in front the child. Once they leave I grab the Lysol and spray EVERYTHING I can remember touching and a lot I don’t. I spray light switches, door handles, my call phone, the computer, and my keys. Then I use hand sanitizer and give huge snotty...

Trust

I don’t trust a lot of people, or well, I don’t trust them with my safety or the safety of my children. It’s not so much that I distrust them but that I trust they will be selfish, or self-absorbed, or just not caring much. That sounds really bad doesn’t it? Sorry, but I trust people’s actions not their words. I trust their deeds not their intentions. Watching this video made me think of the few people I trust and know I can count on. The ones I support as much as they support me. But it also...

Pick a Bio

Okay, everyone, I need some help picking a bio. Feel free to tweak them as I am open to all help. “Wait,” you cry, “there is no mention of shirtless men in kilts chained to your bed! Alica has been replaced by a pod person! Get your flamethrowers and let’s go save her!” STOP. While I am thankful for your concern and willingness to burn aliens for me, the first series of books I am putting out is YA. Yes, I can write ‘clean-ish’ enough for YA. Yes, I’m serious. Yes, in book three there is a guy...

I Learned A New Word

This Saturday I went to Can't Stop The Serenity, find one in your area cause it's awesome, and I learned a new word from Joss Whedon, Genderist, and he explains why it's awesome and we need start using it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDmzlKHuuoI What do you think of genderist? Will you start using it?

Anti-Zen: Quiet is for Wusses

So in my stupid and doomed attempts to do things properly I have never taken the time to try and do breathing exercises, or meditate because there are too many kids around, or I don’t have enough time, or I am hungry/sick/tired/horny and that will be distracting, or it just isn’t quite enough. Guess what—my life will never be any of those things. There is no perfect moment for me. Those moments are for special people, like those without children, or who get abducted by aliens. So the other day...
